I have a male and a female emerald swift, and when I was cleaning the cage yesterday I discovered a new addition. The little guy can’t be more then two days old. I found two others, but sadly they didn’t make it. I removed the little one from the parents cage and put him in his own little box with some substrate and a leaf to hide under (yes, he’s -that- small). I have a few pinhead crickets in with him, but I don’t know what else he could possible eat or if he’s even fast enough to eat those. No one around here sells pin heads, so i breed my own crickets (this is mostly to save money on crickets because I go through over 100 a week between all my herps), but I wasn’t expecting babies until spring so I don’t have enough crickets put aside for him. How long can a baby live without sufficient food? And what else could be offered? All the worms are bigger then him. -_-

Did your swift baby/babies survive? (those little white/yellow house spiders make good baby food. With a couple missing legs, the baby has an easier time getting to them. And the spiny’s LOVE spiders... and flies.) - jimbolizard
